WOMAN OF FAITH
“Your faith has saved you. – Luke 18:42
My
friend Chary is such a simple woman yet she stands out as a woman of
great faith. Chary is a hopeful cancer patient. She’s been struggling
with this sickness since 2007. Shewas at her worst condition in 2009.
There’s fluid in her lungs and abdomen. Nodules come and go. She goes in
and out of the hospital. Yet, through all these, Chary has remained faithful to our God, believing that far greater things are in store for her.
Every
month that she undergoes treatment, she would text us to pray with her.
She remains strong in the midst of fighting against the ill effects of
her 40 cycles of chemotherapy. She remains calm as she faces a long list
of medical expenses. And she remains to be a loving wife, mother and
friend despite her sickness.
Chary
has caused her family and all of us who love her to clasp our hands in
prayer and to remain faithful and hopeful. On December 11, 2010, our
Creator rewarded Chary’s faith and granted her complete healing when He
called her home.
You
and I have our share of life’s difficulties. Yet despite all that, we
have the power to still make life beautiful and fruitful by remaining
faithful to our big God. Sol Saura (sol_saura@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
What difficulties are you struggling with right now? Keep walking with faith in your heart.
Lord, as we travel life’s road, may we keep believing that You will never abandon us.
St. Agnes of Assisi, pray for us.
